NAIFA – One Never Knows Where The 6th Degrees Of Connection Starts

Thrilled to say that I’ll be one of the speakers at the NAIFA – Iowa Sales Caravan November 9th – 12th.

One never knows where the 6th degrees of connection starts and given that the NAIFA – Iowa Sales Caravan is subtitled with “Bringing MDRT Speakers To Iowa” … many thanks to the following people along the path of the 6^th Degrees Of Connection ;

1. Tom Miller & Alex Nicholson of Pro-Seminars for the opportunity to speak at Pro-Seminars’ events right across Canada.
2. Through speaking at Pro-Seminars I met Phil Hauser – Personal Financial Planning at a Pro-Seminars London, Ontario event.
3. Phil Hauser introduced me to Robert Gignac.
4. Robert Gignac referred me to the opportunity to speak at The Vancouver 2010 MDRT Annual Meeting.
5. I am sure that being an MDRT speaker helped me to attract the opportunity to speak at The Great American Advisors Conference in Lake Tahoe where I was told “your presentation was the best presentation that I had attended all day and I’m recommending you to speak as a financial advisor speaker at our NAIFA Chapter”.
6. Matt Anderson – The Referral Authority who I met at the Vancouver 2010 MDRT who referred me to Michele Grassley Clarke, Executive Director, NAIFA-Iowa.

Dear All,

I’ve been shortlisted for Advisor.ca’s ‘Name That Visionary Contest’: Who are the Top 10 leaders in the industry today?

Round One is over and the candidates have been narrowed down to 20 entries.

The next step is to vote for the top ten entries and you can do this by clicking here;

There are two ways I could have played this:

1. Pretending to be a shy and demure Canadian, because that is what Canadians do, in the hope that people will vote anyway – “I don’t take part in these celebrity competitions because it’s beneath me”
2. Bold, outrageous and provocative – “asking for the business” – vote for me because I love the exposure!

Another reason that I am doing this is to demonstrate the power of E-Nurture Marketing as you are a reader of my E-Newsletter and we were initially introduced through speaking or via the internet.

Honestly, it would cost tens of thousands to receive the exposure that this contest can create.

So I’m asking for your help.

The next step is to vote for the top ten entries and you can do this by clicking here and PLEASE VOTE FOR ME;

 Again, why am I asking?

• The exposure is absolutely great for my professional career development
• The publicity is a vindication for all the hard work done with clients and the philosophy and ideas that we share in these and other pages
• The encouragement to me to keep fighting the fight for quality career and independent financial advisors
• My coaches and mentors all get to take a break as my unmet need of recognition is satisfied
• You will have to spend a few minutes thinking about your personal Top 10 leaders in the industry today
